Nancy Pelosi hauls in $26 million for Democrats this year
Washington Examiner ^ | July 31, 2017 | by Melissa Quinn

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has brought in nearly $26 million for the Democratic Party so far this year, according to a report. The majority of the $25.9 million Pelosi raised will go to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which will lead the Democrats' efforts to regain control of the House in the 2018 midterm elections.

This year, the minority leader has sent the DCCC $24.7 million, which is $10 million more than Pelosi raised for the committee in the same period two years ago, according to the Washington Post.

Pelosi raised millions through three "Speakers Cabinet" VIP events that have taken place in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles and has participated in 124 events in 22 cities.

Pelosi's fundraising streak comes after some of her fellow Democrats renewed calls for her to step down as minority leader after Democrat Jon Ossoff lost the special election in Georgia last month.

The California Democrat defended herself amid calls for a replacement and said her ability to raise large sums of money was one of several reasons she should remain in her post.

How much of that came from the Awan family who were laundering money from their perch on the Democrat side of the aisle?

All the money they’ve raised...and, since 2008, they’ve lost over 1000 state and federal political seats.

How much of the $26 million were just drizzled away by Tom Perez and Keith Ellison?

Fruitless races for potential open seats, and they could not capitalize on even one.

Democrats continue to reward mediocrity. And even a lot that is WAY below average.

I see the Examiner also uses the alternative spelling for Nanzi Piglosi.
